Kahng, SungWoo; Butler, Courtney; Kronfli, Faris R.; Zaki-Scarpa, Christeen; Boragi, Brianna; Scott, Joseph – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience challenges securing employment, which may partially explain overall underemployment or unemployment in this population. One of the first steps to obtaining employment is participating in a job interview. However, social communication deficits may interfere with an individual with ASD's…

Schnell-Peskin, Lauren K.; Day-Watkins, Jessica; Mery, Jacqueline N.; Vladescu, Jason C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Recent behavior analytic studies have examined behavioral skills training to teach adults to arrange safe infant sleeping environments. These studies were conducted in an analogue environment and with all training components delivered by an expert staff trainer. The purpose of the current study was to replicate and extend this literature by…

McHugh, Catherine L.; Dozier, Claudia L.; Diaz de Villegas, Sara C.; Kanaman, Nicole A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2022
In 2020 the Centers for Disease Control provided the public with recommendations to slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing a mask in the community. In the current study, experimenters coached group home staff via telehealth to implement synchronous schedules of reinforcement to increase mask wearing for 5 adults with intellectual and developmental…

Hillman, Conrad B.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Kosel, Molly L. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Further research is needed on strategies to improve employment outcomes for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We replicated and extended prior research by examining the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of discrete-trial training (DTT) performance of adults with ASD who were interested in careers as behavior technicians.…

Custer, Taylor N.; Stiehl, Christie M.; Lerman, Dorothea C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in conversation skills that can interfere with the development of personal and professional relationships. Further research is needed on efficient interventions for targeting conversation skills in adults with ASD and for evaluating the social validity of the outcomes. In this…

Villante, Natalie K.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Som, Sopia; Hunt, Justin C. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2021
Teaching job-related problem-solving skills may increase the likelihood that individuals with developmental disabilities obtain and maintain employment (Kaye et al., 2011; Peck & Kirkbride, 2001; Unger, 2002). In this study, we evaluated the use of electronic-based flowcharts on an iPod Touch as a form of self-instruction to increase problem…

Walker, Seth G.; Mattson, Stephanie L.; Sellers, Tyra P. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Several studies have examined the efficacy of behavior analytic coaching strategies in sports to increase performance fluency. Rock climbing is a multifaceted sport requiring mastery of several complex behavior chains in order to successfully navigate climbing surfaces. To date, most investigations have focused on the physiological aspects of rock…

Zagrabska-Swiatkowska, Patrycja; Mulhern, Teresa; Ming, Siri; Stewart, Ian; McElwee, John – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Class inclusion (CI) requires responding to an item simultaneously as a member of both a class and a more inclusive class that contains that class. This study extends previous research by Ming et al. (2018) who trained CI responding in typically developing children and individuals with autism using a Relational Frame Theory (RFT) approach…

Pellegrino, Azure J.; DiGennaro Reed, Florence D. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Telehealth uses electronic information and telecommunication technologies to deliver long-distance clinical services. It has successfully been used by clinical professionals to teach family and staff members to provide evidence-based assessment and treatment procedures. There is no research to date, however, evaluating the use of telehealth to…

Nieto, Paola; Wiskow, Katie M. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
A recent intervention, the Step it UP! game (Galbraith & Normand, 2017), consists of an interdependent group contingency to increase student physical activity. In addition, previous research demonstrated that adult interaction may reinforce physical activity (Larson et al., 2014). We extended research on the Step it UP! game by comparing the…

Ennett, Talia M.; Zonneveld, Kimberley L. M.; Thomson, Kendra M.; Vause, Tricia; Ditor, David – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
Teaching with acoustical guidance involves auditory feedback (e.g., a click sound when a desired behavior occurs) as part of a multicomponent intervention known as TAGteach. TAGteach has been found to improve performance in sport, dance, surgical technique, and walking. We compared the efficacy and efficiency of the standard TAGteach…

Wu, Wai-Ling; Lechago, Sarah A.; Rettig, Lisa A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of mand, tact, and native-to-foreign (NFI) and foreign-to-native (FNI) intraverbal training on the acquisition of a foreign language. We used a multiple-baseline design across participants with an embedded adapted alternating treatments design to compare the effects of mand training, tact…

Bentham, Stephanie N.; Walker, Stephen F.; Vander Pluym, Maria E.; Tejeda, Kristina N. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Behavior analysts typically teach conditional discriminations in a mixed-trial format but may switch to a blocked-trial format for learners displaying limited acquisition. No known research has shown that mixed-trial methods are more effective or efficient than blocked-trial methods for teaching discriminations, so it is not clear why this format…

Grob, Carolyn M.; Lerman, Dorothea C.; Langlinais, Channing A.; Villante, Natalie K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
Few studies have evaluated interventions to improve the job-related social skills of adults with autism spectrum disorder. In this study, we examined the efficacy of a treatment package for teaching several social skills that are critical to job success, such as responding appropriately to feedback and asking for a task model from the supervisor.…

Stannis, Rebecca L.; Crosland, Kimberly A.; Miltenberger, Raymond; Valbuena, Diego – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2019
This study evaluated behavioral skills training (BST) and in situ training (IST) to teach a response to bullying (RtB) to four adults with intellectual disabilities who were victims of bullying. The RtB consisted of refraining from retaliating, stating disapproval, walking away, and telling a staff member. In situ assessments were conducted in the…
